It seems that you both are right. Beto refused money from oil companies. But among his many contributors, there were quite a few who work in that industry. Even some top-level execs. Of course, Oil is a huge local employer in Texas. As the defense industry is in the PNW.

I also suspect that shooting down anyone who's not a pristine candidate is a sure fire way to make sure Trump gets a second term. I doubt I'll ever meet anyone who aligns 100% with ALL of my beliefs, so I'll be going with the best person who can actually win.
I’ll eagerly vote for Beto if he’s our candidate. Like you, I’m just beginning to learn more about potential 2020 candidates, but I want us to go in with eyes wide open and fighting for the candidate who will fight for the world I want and love. I like Harris a whole lot. So far.
I'm certainly not trying to sway anyone either way on Beto O'rourke. I doubt I'll form a real opinion about him until I see a lot more. I just suspect that rejecting ALL support from folks employed by big oil in Texas probably isn't feasible.
Agreed. But that wasn’t what I was arguing. He broke his No Fossil Fuel Pledge, and voted in ways that bolstered the fossil fuel industry. That’s deeply concerning when the climate crisis is the number one issue facing humanity, and is so incredibly urgent.
